Often, success has nothing to do with high marks, commendations and prize-winning places at school olympiads, it depends on fortitude and fortitude, and, of course, luck plays a significant role in this. Our today's rating is dedicated to famous people who studied badly at school, hooligans and fought, and teachers predicted not the best future for them.
1. Sylvester Stallone
Hollywood actor and director, 71-year-old Sylvester Stallone, who was nominated three times for the prestigious Oscar film award, was a real punishment for teachers at school. The future actor loved to misbehave, and also often used his fists. In fairness, it is worth noting that he did this, trying to protect himself from the attacks of his peers, and not at all because of a bad character or improper upbringing. The thing is that due to a birth injury, Sylvester was paralyzed by some facial muscles, which became a reason for ridicule from classmates. Add to this a short stature, burr and slurred accent - this is enough to become an outcast at school. The boy's parents divorced when he was 11, so he had no one to rely on, and he decided to fend for himself. The result was a change of almost a dozen schools due to poor performance and constant fights, and Stallone received a certificate of secondary education, in general, in an educational institution for difficult teenagers. However, all this did not prevent him from building a successful film career and becoming a world-class celebrity.
2 Avril Lavigne
Canadian singer, actress and songwriter, 33-year-old Avril Lavigne, at the dawn of the 00s, became the idol of millions of teenagers around the world. Avril began to sing before talking, but she frankly hated her studies at school and did not even try to hide it. The girl showed absolutely no interest in the sciences, with her behavior disrupted the lessons, hooligans and often fought with her peers. She was regularly expelled from the class, and at some point was even asked to change the educational institution, because the teachers could not cope with her character and violent temper. Of all the school subjects, Lavigne liked, perhaps, the lessons of music and physical education. It is noteworthy that the parents were always condescending to their daughter's antics, did not insist that she bring home positive grades and supported her passion for rock music and the desire to become a singer. Her father even equipped an entire music studio for her in the basement with a professional drum set, keyboard and several acoustic guitars. We add that, having signed her first contract, the girl immediately left school, and she never returned to her studies, which, according to her, she never regretted.
3. Fedor Bondarchuk
Domestic actor and film director, 50-year-old Fyodor Bondarchuk was one of those who are commonly called "golden youth". He was born in the family of the world-famous cinematographer, Oscar winner Sergei Bondarchuk. He tasted the taste of fame and increased attention to his own person early, and therefore, studying at school was of little interest to him. Parents asked him to show at least a little effort, but Fedor, most often, brought home deuces and comments in his diary. In addition, his eminent father and mother were often called to the director for the fact that his son was a hooligan, skipped classes, allowed himself to argue with teachers, and even smoked on the territory. educational institution. No persuasion and punishment helped, because Fedor did not even like the very idea that every day he had to go to school and sit at his desk for many hours, listening to the boring lectures of teachers. Fortunately, no one predicted the guy’s career as a janitor, because even then, looking at the example of his father, cinema became Fedor’s true passion. We add that, as a student at VGIK, Bondarchuk showed much greater zeal, diligence and diligence in his studies.
4. Jim Carrey
Hollywood actor-comedian and winner of two Golden Globes, the 56-year-old suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The same specific ailment once prevented him from studying normally at school and starting friendly relations with peers. The reasons for the deviation lie in the childhood of the actor, he was born in a rather poor, and besides large family, his mother was once a promising singer, and his father played the saxophone, however, with the advent of four heirs, everything changed dramatically. Funds were constantly lacking, and parents, almost all of their time, were busy earning at least a living for their children. The mother of the future actor, against the background of all these problems, began to suffer from a severe form of a mental disorder known as hypochondria, and ill-wishers immediately labeled her as “crazy”. Little Jim was a recluse at school, he grew up as a very inattentive and impulsive boy, and almost did not communicate with anyone. Because of this, the boy studied poorly, and even stayed for the second year several times. In addition, as we have already said, his family was very tight with money, so Jim had to start working early in order to somehow help his parents. The boy got a job as a janitor at a factory, and was so tired of physical labor that no science entered his head. In one of the interviews, Kerry once noted that, if not for his acting talent, he would still work at the factory, doing low-skilled and low-paid work.
5. Drew Barrymore
The heiress of Hollywood actors and goddaughter of Steven Spielberg, Drew Barrymore began acting in films as a baby, and by the age of seven she had become a world-famous star. Glory quickly turned the girl's head, she became a regular at nightclubs and fashionable parties, so she had no time and desire to study. According to the actress herself, she started smoking at the age of nine, regularly drinking alcohol from the age of 11, at the age of 12 she first tried weed, and at the age of 13 she already got into a rehabilitation center. A year later, the young actress tried to commit suicide, which is why she ended up in a specialized medical facility for the second time. Naturally, there was no question of any normal schooling at that time. Drew matured early, and she no longer wanted to return to her school desk to her peers. Fortunately, she managed to cope with all the problems that Barrymore had to face in her childhood and adolescence. Later, the actress spoke about all this in detail in several autobiographical books that she wrote.
6. Andrei Tarkovsky
Soviet film director and screenwriter Andrei Tarkovsky in his youth was a hooligan and a rake who made teachers grab their heads. Now we can state with confidence that the guy was simply unlucky with school years, after all, Andrei went to first grade in the 39th year, and before he could get involved in his studies, the war broke out. The boy, along with other children, was evacuated to a small provincial town, where a hungry and difficult childhood awaited him. Of course, in such conditions, one could not even talk about elementary school. But in transitional age when the war ended, and Andrei had the opportunity to return to his desk, he did not want to do this. The thing is that his mother raised him alone, after her husband left the family, and she could not establish the discipline of a difficult teenager. As a high school student, Tarkovsky, along with other losers, became a "dude". He was not at all interested in studying, because he was much more interested in Western music, fashionable things and adventures in post-war Moscow. But the school, along with its strict rules, seemed to the guy a real punishment. He believed that real life boils in the street, where he was invariably drawn. The only subject that fascinated Tarkovsky was literature, in which he received a B, and this was the only positive mark in his certificate. In history, geography and some other humanities, the future film director received Cs with a stretch, but in the exact sciences, only deuces flaunted in his certificate. Nevertheless, in the 51st year, Andrei entered the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies. The thing is that young people then had no interest in this direction, and this created a low competition in the university. But, a year later, young Tarkovsky realized that studying here was a disastrous occupation. Then the boy submitted documents to VGIK, and to his own surprise, he was accepted. As the director later recalled, this choice was unconscious, but became fateful for him.
7. Quentin Tarantino
One of the most extravagant and extraordinary filmmakers in Hollywood, 54-year-old Quentin Tarantino studied badly at school and was a notorious loser. And despite the fact that he was a pretty smart and talented guy. The thing is that laziness interfered with him, and he did not even try to hide it. Quentin was so bored in the lessons that he did not understand why he went there, and what was the point of school education. The mother of the future director at that time was building a successful career in the field of pharmacology and was almost never at home, so the young Tarantino spent a lot of time with his stepfather, who allowed him to watch TV and mess around all day. By the age of 15, the guy decided to completely abandon his school education, and his mother had no choice but to come to terms with this decision of his. However, she put forward her condition - her son must find a job. Quentin agreed, and got a job first at the ticket office of the cinema, and then at the film distribution. Over time, he fell more and more in love with cinema and realized that this was the only occupation he wanted to devote his life to. Later, in his interviews, Tarantino repeatedly said: "I did not go to film school, I went to the movies."
8. Pierce Brosnan
Pierce Brosnan, 64, an Irish actor and performer of the role of "agent 007", as it turns out, also decided not to bother getting a secondary education and neglected his school certificate. We note right away that Pierce was not at all lazy or incapable of mastering the sciences, and the reason for his leaving school was the mockery of his peers. The thing is that the Irish boy moved to London at the age of 11, where he went to one of the local schools and became a real outcast in the class. The problem lay in his accent, which caused the other students to laugh at him, tease him, and even hit him. Unable to withstand such an attitude, a few years later, Pierce dropped out of school and joined one of the traveling circuses. At the same time, an attractive young man begins to earn money as a model, which brought him a good income, and soon Brosnan decided to enroll in courses at the center of dramatic art in order to build acting career. Subsequently, he never regretted his decision to leave school, nor the acting courses.
9. Angelina Jolie
Hollywood film actress and director, 42-year-old Angelina Jolie was not at all popular at school and was never among the diligent students. It's hard to believe, but one of the most beautiful women classmates considered the planet frankly scary, teased or did not notice her presence at all. AT adolescence Jolie was very thin, tall, wore braces and dressed like a boy. By her own admission, she always felt like an outcast and was in a depressed state, and this did not at all contribute to fruitful studies and getting high marks. A significant role in this situation was played by the divorce of the parents of the future actress, as well as the fact that her Oscar-winning father was not at all interested in the fate of his children. Angelina also showed a rebellious nature, she dyed her hair in bright, unthinkable colors, wore black clothes and collected knives, which is rather strange for a girl. Repeatedly she tried her hand as a model, but often she was simply refused. Because of this, the girl felt ugly and unnecessary, and, as she herself later admitted, she simply did not want to live. As soon as her modeling career began to gradually gain momentum, Jolie immediately abandoned her studies and she did not return to school anymore.
10 Al Pacino
American actor, director and winner of the "Oscar", 77-year-old Al Pacino became famous largely due to the roles of "bad guys", which it was not difficult for him to play. The actor himself grew up in a dysfunctional criminal area, where poverty reigned and gangs of criminals operated. He himself contacted dubious companies more than once, became the instigator of fights and was one of the main troublemakers at school. He had little interest in studying, he grew up on the street and dreamed of becoming a baseball player, and therefore he often skipped classes and almost never did his homework. As a result, young Alfredo flunked almost all the exams and was simply expelled for poor performance, never having received a school certificate. Mom, who raised her son alone, was extremely unhappy with this turn, and after a major quarrel, the teenager simply left home. Even then, he firmly decided that he wanted to become an actor, and in order to pay for the courses, Pacino worked as a dishwasher, waiter, courier, washed floors and delivered mail, however, he never returned to school education.
Alla Borisovna was not an excellent student, on the contrary: the future celebrity was not at all given chemistry, drawing, geography and foreign language. But in music, of course, there was a solid five.
Mikhail Derzhavin
Vladimir Kristovsky
The future musician, in principle, did not really like the idea of going to school every day - so he often skipped classes, and this, of course, was not reflected in the best way on academic performance. And after school, he went to study for ... an electrician.
Viktor Tsoi
Fedor Bondarchuk
Fyodor Bondarchuk grew up in a famous and famous family, but despite this, he was not at all interested in studying. On the contrary, parents were constantly called to school: Fedya played truant, smoked at breaks, argued with teachers and regularly received deuces.
Maria Aronova
The future actress had good grades only in Russian and literature, the exact sciences were not given to her at all. But her parents did not scold her for deuces and triples.
Marat Basharov
Marat Basharov was a hooligan and a loser at school - but this did not prevent him from enrolling in the Faculty of Law later.
Jim carrey
Jim Carrey had to study in the tenth grade for three years - but it's not that he was lazy or did not understand anything. The family was bad with money, and the boy had to go to work early, he was so tired that he simply could not pay enough attention to his studies.
Winona Ryder
The actress just dropped out of school after the seventh grade. And not only because of the study, which was not given to her: an unusual girl who did not look like most students was teased and beaten by her classmates.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise changed more than a dozen schools, and everywhere he had problems with his studies. The reason turned out to be dyslexia - the boy simply could not perceive the written text, reading was an impossible task for him.
Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey has been very active since childhood: from military school, where his parents sent him, the boy was soon expelled for hooliganism, fights and indiscipline. But at the acting school, where he went at the age of 16 at the insistence of his mother, he liked it - and success immediately appeared.
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp simply ignored his studies - after all, from childhood he decided that he would be a rock star, and founded his own musical group. Absenteeism, deuces, absenteeism again - and at the age of 15, the future world celebrity simply closed the school issue for herself.
These celebrities at school have never been particularly successful, and the behavior of many of them was far from exemplary. But time has shown that their academic success did not affect their achievements in life.
Alexander Zbruev
In some ways, Alexander Zbruev is very similar to his hero from the film " Big change"- Ganju. At school, Zbruev was known as a real bully. He studied poorly and twice the teachers left him for the second year. And after graduation, Alexander planned to become a truck driver. But a friend of his mother, having seen the actor's abilities in the guy, advised him to enter the Shchukin school.
Fedor Bondarchuk
Fedor's parents went to school regularly - like to work. Their offspring was constantly skipping classes, smoking, arguing with teachers, arguing and getting deuces. And when Fedor decided to enter MGIMO, he was given the lowest score for his essay and had to say goodbye to the dream of becoming a diplomat. Later, he entered VGIK because his father wanted it that way. And he turned out to be right, because now Fedor Bondarchuk - successful actor, film director and producer.
Ekaterina Klimova
Ekaterina Klimova went to school like hard labor. The exact sciences were given to her with great difficulty, especially she hated algebra and geometry. But Klimova participated in school amateur performances with great pleasure, because she dreamed of becoming an actress since childhood. And after graduating from school, Catherine easily entered the acting department of the Shchepkinsky School at the Maly Theater.
Olga Buzova
Until the 9th grade, Olga studied from two to three and skipped classes. Parents were shocked to learn about such “successes” of their daughter. And so that the parents would not be upset, Buzova promised them to improve and take up their minds. The future TV star graduated from the 10th grade with honors, and the 11th grade with a silver medal. Languages were the easiest for Buzova. She speaks English, German, Italian and Lithuanian.
Natalya Vodyanova
Due to the fact that Natalia grew up early, started working to help her family, she had to leave school. She still does not have a certificate of graduation and no other diplomas either. But this did not stop the girl from making a dizzying career as a supermodel. And Western journalists called Vodianova "modern Cinderella."
Vladimir Kristovsky
Vladimir did not like to go to school and saw him there infrequently. And this could not but affect his performance. After leaving school, he received the specialty of an electrician, and then became an apprentice gas and electric welder. Well, a little later, he even mastered the profession of a hairdresser.
Nyusha
Nyusha never chased high marks. Therefore, in her certificate there were mostly triples. And for the subjects that she loved, such as physical education, art and singing, the girl received fives. But the teachers treated her condescendingly, apparently realizing that Nyusha was already destined for a career as a singer.
Exams, grades, cheat sheets, sleepless nights, cramming, valerian... Another academic year has come to an end. So it was 100, 50 and 10 years ago, and parents always repeated to their children: "If you study poorly, nothing good will come of you." Parents, of course, must be listened to ... But, as practice shows, in order to succeed in life, it is not necessary to be an excellent student. The correspondent of "Superstars" was convinced of this by visiting the Moscow Museum of Education, where grades are put on public display. famous people who studied in the capital.
“Here’s the paradox: a person studied ugly at school, skipped classes, and grew up and became famous. And this happens all the time. Only the cosmonauts were all excellent students and good students, - director of the museum Yuri Konstantinovich Zuev shared with the "Superstars". - How did the stars themselves react to the fact that their assessments became public?
Vasily Livanov did not like our idea, though I don’t understand why: he only has good grades in his certificate. I don't know about the rest. But none of the heroes of the exposition has yet come to look at their school successes. I think they don't have time, they have enough problems of their own. Why look to the past?
excellent students
There were only three round honors students among celebrities: Svetlana Alliluyeva, Philip Kirkorov and Vasily Lanovoy. The certificate leaflet of Svetlana Alliluyeva turned yellow from time to time, and in some places the ink burned out from the sun. There is no diversity in the certificate of Stalin's daughter - in front of all 16 items, “excellent” is displayed in calligraphic handwriting.
The thought immediately arises that the estimates are overstated, that upsetting the leader in 1943 was like death. But, as Svetlana's classmates later recalled, she really was a capable student. She just kept herself apart. For example, Sergo Beria in his book “My father is Lavrenty Beria” wrote: “I remember Stalin’s daughter as a smart, modest girl. She knew English well. Svetlana sat at the same desk with my future wife. She introduced us to Martha.”
Philip Kirkorov in childhood was also an exemplary "bunny". At school No. 413 of the Zhdanovsky district, little Bedrosovich studied from the 3rd to the 10th grade and all these years he was an example for the guys. The future pop star graduated from school with a gold medal, exemplary behavior and an ideal characteristic for a graduate of a Soviet school.
Director Kiselevskaya and class teacher Korotkova were not stingy with flattering reviews: “All the years Philip Kirkorov studied excellently, led a large community service, an active participant in all social and labor affairs at the school. He showed particular activity in preparation for the 60th anniversary of the formation of the USSR.
He was awarded diplomas for organizing political information at the school. He was a member of the Komsomol committee of the school, headed the political sector. For two years he was a member of the school attestation commission for the Lenin test, was the chairman of the commission for political clock competitions.
In the 9th and 10th grades, at political attestations, he was unanimously recognized as an excellent student of the Lenin test. Participated in political poster competitions "The world through the eyes of children" and in a children's drawing competition between school 413 in Moscow and a school in the city of Brno, Czechoslovakia, where he received 1st prize for the drawing "My homeland is the USSR."
He was fond of theater and music, was a member of the theatrical group of the school, graduated from a music school in piano and guitar with honors, repeatedly took part in regional and city olympiads in literature, history, English, taking prizes.
Philip Kirkorov was an active participant in all communist subbotniks, collecting waste paper, was among the first students who participated in socially useful work in the 10th grade at the Model Shoe factory in the Zhdanovsky district.
Handsome Vasily Lanovoy, who played Gray in "Scarlet Sails", Vronsky in "Anna Karenina", Ivan Varavva in "Officers" and a lot of other wonderful roles, also had a five-grade matriculation certificate and was a diligent student high school No. 510 of the Proletarian Fleece.
good guys
The future poet Andrei Voznesensky, who graduated from school No. 554, and the playwright Edward Radzinsky, who graduated from the 49th English special school, had only one four in the certificate - they left schools with silver medals.
Little Vladimir Vysotsky, who studied at the 186th school of the Kominternovsky district, was also an exemplary student and a solid good student. "Fives" and "fours" in his certificate are equally divided, and "five", of course, are in the humanities and natural subjects.
"Machinist" and culinary specialist Andrei Makarevich once admitted that the most best event at school he counts the last bell. Strange, because young Makar studied quite well. The museum has his certificate for the 8th grade, where "fours" stand only in Russian, geometry, geography and chemistry, and in other subjects - "five".
In addition, Makarevich studied not at an ordinary secondary school, but at school No. 19 "with teaching a number of subjects at English language”, which means that the requirements for students there were somewhat higher. And Andrey somehow managed to combine his studies with a serious passion for music and even concerts, because the "Time Machine" began to emerge precisely at school.
The future "millionaire" Maxim Galkin also discovered his talents while studying at school. Maxim played in school plays, at breaks and in companies he parodied classmates and teachers. In Maxim's certificate for the 9th "A" grade of school No. 43, just in geography and biology, there are not "five", as in other subjects, but "fours". But he received "five" in Russian, literature and foreign - not without reason Maxim went to study at Humanities University to the Faculty of Linguistics.
Galkin's senior colleague on the stage, Gennady Khazanov, to the delight of his mother, also studied well. It is not known with what marks he graduated from school No. 7 of the Leninsky RUNO in Moscow - the certificate has not been preserved. But in the fifth grade, little Gena had very few "fours" - only in natural science, geography, German and labor.
Yura Luzhkov, a student of the Moscow men's seven-year school No. 579, constantly grabbed the "troika" in mathematics and foreign language. However, there are no “triples” in his high school diploma. Apparently, he came to his senses.
troechniks
If Philip Kirkorov was a straight A student, then his ex-wife and business partner Alla Borisovna takes pride of place among the C students. And the red-haired schoolgirl Pugacheva has never been a Komsomol activist either. Grades in the certificate of the Diva, exhibited in the Museum of Education, are very diverse.
"Fives" in literature, work, singing (of course!) And behavior. "Fours" in Russian, algebra, geometry, physics and history. And "triples" in drawing, geography, chemistry and foreign. As life has shown, an “average” and by no means shining girl in school lessons has grown into a megastar ...
Andrei Mironov graduated from the same English special school No. 170 (now No. 49) that Edward Radzinsky, Vasily Livanov and Mark Rozovsky. The “triples” of the teacher were given to young Mironov only in the exact sciences (algebra, geometry and physics), but in English, geography, natural science, history and behavior, the future actor in the certificate is “excellent”.
The hopeless triplet was Natasha Belogortseva (this is Krachkovskaya's maiden name). She graduated from school No. 14 of the Lenin Fleece with "triples" in Russian, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, geography, astronomy and chemistry.
Afonya (Leonid Kuravlev), comrade Sukhov (Anatoly Kuznetsov) and the loser Ganzha (Alexander Zbruev) were also notorious threes. In the certificate they do not have a single “five” and very few “fours”. So, playing the role of Ganja's loser in The Big Break, Alexander Zbruev played himself.
Famous athletes Valery Kharlamov and Irina Rodnina did not shine with success either. The figure skater has only four "five" in the 8th grade (literature, geometry, geography and physical education), the hockey player has even less - only one in physical education.
Losers
Do not believe it, but the author and presenter of about ten Russian television programs Lev Novozhenov was a loser at school. Not one not only "five" for the year, but even "four". And in a quarter, the score “2” sometimes flashed. The museum has a class magazine for the 8th grade, where opposite the name of Novozhenov in the fourth quarter of the drafting there is a “couple”.
Vice Mayor of Moscow Vladimir Resin, to put it mildly, also did not shine with knowledge. In the Russian language, the teacher sometimes gave the future head of the capital a “deuce” in the quarter, but at the end of the year he corrected her and received a well-deserved “troika”. In other subjects - "fours", and more often - "triples".
A careful study of class magazines and matriculation of our celebrities showed that the biggest blockhead in the school was Mikhail Derzhavin. Mikhal Mikhalych barely graduated from the Moscow school number 73 of the Kyiv RONO. His certificate for the 9th grade is worthy of his. "Russian and literature - "not certified", algebra - 2, geometry and trigonometry - "not certified", natural science - 3, geography and history - 3, foreign - 4, drawing - 2, physical education - "not certified", psychology - 3, diligence - 2, behavior - 5.
117 lessons were missed, including 9 due to illness. The resolution of the school's pedagogical council on student performance and behavior is to "postpone the exam in autumn in algebra and geometry." But all this did not prevent Mikhail Mikhailovich from becoming a famous actor of the Moscow Theater of Satire and the husband of first the daughter of Arkady Raikin Ekaterina, then the daughter of Marshal S. Budyonny Nina and the singer Roxana Babayan. Women love not for grades.
The beginning of the school season makes many parents nervous, because ahead is a difficult battle for the "fives" and "fours". And if the child does not study well - what to do? Is it worth it to panic? Is it important to get good grades in school? History knows a lot of losers, threes, hooligans and outsiders who, after graduating from school, became successful in life. Top celebrities who did poorly in school - read the selection of Tricolor TV Magazine.
FEDOR BONDARCHUK
One of the most successful film directors, producers and actors of the country, winner of awards "TEFI" and "Golden Eagle" Fyodor Bondarchuk studied at school badly. And despite the fact that Fedor was born in a family famous actressIrina Skobtseva and renowned director Sergei Bondarchuk. Parents were often busy, so the grandmother was engaged in raising the boy. The son of famous parents studied at the prestigious 31st Moscow special school, but Fedor did not differ in exemplary behavior. He drank, smoked, got bad grades, skipped. As they say, after receiving a school certificate, Fyodor Bondarchuk tried to enter MGIMO, but failed the essay writing exam - made almost 37 mistakes. Subsequently, he entered VGIK which he successfully completed. Obviously, poor grades at school did not affect the successful future of a talented filmmaker!
MIKHAIL SHIRVINDT
Famous TV presenter, producer, and just an intellectual Mikhail Shirvindt also gave a lot of trouble to his parents when he was in school. According to his father, famous actor Alexander Shirvindt, he was constantly called to the director and reprimanded for various hooligan antics of the boy. Mikhail loved to blow up toilet bowls in the school toilet - he dragged reagents from the "chemistry" room, wrapped them in newspapers and flushed them down the toilet. And once he almost drowned in a pond. In addition to bad behavior, the boy had deuces in all subjects, except for labor and physical education. Despite the famous parent, Mikhail was expelled from schools. As a result, the future celebrity changed three (!) Schools, as the guy was constantly expelled for bad behavior. In general, the future TV star brought a lot of problems to her parents before graduating from secondary education. After graduation, Mikhail entered Shchukin Theater School. All these school years did not prevent Mikhail from becoming a successful producer, actor, presenter, and establishing his own studio. I wonder what he's broadcasting now “I want to know with Mikhail Shirvindt”.
MARIA ARONOVA
Girls usually do well in school, unlike boys. But the actress Maria Aronova On the contrary, she was not an excellent student. Since childhood, she dreamed of becoming an actress, arranged concerts and performances at home, to which she called all the neighbors. “This my acting was the only way to assert myself at school and at home,” recalls Maria. “I have always studied poorly, and good marks were only in literature, Russian and history.” Parents did not scold their daughter for "deuces" or "triples" - they knew that she had a talent in acting. They believed in her and they were right. After school, Maria entered Shchukin Theater School, and already then took the first steps towards success. Already for work in the graduation performance "Royal Hunt" Maria Aronova received Stanislavsky State Prize of Russia(for the role of Catherine II). Today Maria Aronova is a people's favorite, popular actress, Honored and People's Artist of Russia, winner of awards "Seagull", "Nika", "Golden Eagle" and many other prestigious awards.
MARAT BASHAROV
Popular actor and TV presenter, Honored Artist of Tatarstan, laureate of the State Prize of Russia Marat Basharov was, as they say, a "classic" school bully. The son of a cook and a locksmith, Marat Basharov, was almost expelled from school several times! This is not surprising - the future actor demanded constant attention. Surprisingly, after graduating from school, Marat entered the Faculty of Law Moscow State University! Direct proof that bad grades and "deuces" for behavior are not an indicator of intelligence!
NIKITA MIKHALKOV
Nikita Mikhalkov- one of the most famous film directors and actors of the country, National artist RSFSR, full cavalier of the order "For services to the Fatherland", three times laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation, owner Golden Lion Venice Film Festival, premiums "Oscar" and Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. But at school he was not a scribbler and a good boy. Nikita grew up in an intelligent family of a Soviet writer Sergei Mikhalkov and poetess, writer and translator Natalia Konchalovskaya. And up to the 4th grade he was almost an excellent student. But after that he started having problems - the future cinematographer did not like exact objects! Due to poor grades, in the end, Nikita Mikhalkov had to graduate from evening school ...
